Farage is spoiling to address all these fault-lines on Thursday. “He will talk about Burnham wanting to take us into the Euro, return us to freedom of movement with 500 million people and losing the ability to nationalize key industries,” said the Reform official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the pending speech in Doncaster. The Yorkshire city voted 69% in favor of leaving the EU in the 2016 referendum, making it one of the most pro-Brexit areas in the U.K. One of its MPs is Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband.

Europe is one of the world’s biggest tourist destinations, but record visitor numbers are putting growing pressure on the places people call home. From Barcelona to Lisbon, and Amsterdam to Athens, cities are struggling to balance the economic benefits of tourism with overcrowding, rising rents and a shrinking supply of affordable housing. How much tourism can Europe’s cities handle, and who should bear the cost? In this edition, recorded live at the Euronews Travel & Tourism Summit in Brussels, two EU lawmakers step into The Ring: Regina Doherty, an Irish MEP with Fine Gael and a member of the centre-right…

Europe’s carmakers rely on a narrow group of countries, suppliers and processing hubs for the chips, magnets and metals their vehicles need, and that dependence is the biggest supply-chain risk facing automotive manufacturing in the bloc, a new study found.
